Intro
A
[Verse 1]
D A
When I was a young boy, my papaw played me songs
D A Bm
He’d sing that Pretty Polly, and I’d listen all night long
A D A Bm
Those sounds went straight into my soul, sitting on his cabin floor
A D A
But I ain’t playing Pretty Polly anymore
[Verse 2]
D A
When Granny was a young girl, she had to hold her own
D A Bm
She told my little sister, don’t get with a man alone
A D A Bm
Down in the Willow Garden, wasn’t some old metaphor
A D A
So I ain’t playing Willow Garden anymore
[Chorus]
D E A D
I ain’t playing Pretty Polly or Rosalie McFall
E A D
I ain’t playing Knoxville Girl, no, none of them at all
E A D
No more tales of women killed by drunken violent men
E A D
They don’t deserve their stories told, I won’t raise my voice again
A D A
I ain’t playing Pretty Polly anymore
[Verse 3]
D A
Cause I know some stories, men like my Uncle Clyde
D A Bm
He spent seven decades at my Aunt Myrtle’s side
A D A Bm
Kentucky teens who fell in love in 1934
A D A Bm
They had to leave the mountains to find work in Baltimore
A D A Bm
She tended their young family while he fought for them in the war
A D A Bm
And she still holds his picture and looks for him at the door
A D A Bm
Though she just turned 100 and he passed 12 years before
A D A
So I ain’t playing Pretty Polly anymore
[Chorus]
D E A D
I ain’t playing Pretty Polly or Rosalie McFall
E A D
I ain’t playing Knoxville Girl, no, none of them at all
E A D
No more tales of women killed by drunken violent men
E A D
They don’t deserve their stories told, I won’t raise my voice again
A D A
And I ain’t playing Pretty Polly anymore
[Outro]
A D A
I ain’t playing Pretty Polly anymore
A D A
I ain’t playing Pretty Polly anymore
